Coach USA school and college group charter buses

School and College Charter Bus Rentals

Charter bus benefits for schools.

Private charter bus rentals from Coach USA are the safe, reliable way to travel with a school group. College teams, theatre groups, school bands and other student groups can enjoy the many benefits of charter bus transportation. Take your class to a museum or give your team a leg up with a comfortable bus ride to the game. Our buses are a great way to travel with a group to a school faculty meeting, too. Or, plan a group college tour and prepare your students for the future.

We offer flexible pickup and drop-off options to make bus travel more convenient. Another great benefit of bus transportation is that everyone can easily stay together and stay coordinated. Using public transportation or ride sharing for a group of students is challenging. Coach USA charter buses make it easy to arrive on time without worrying about arranging meeting places or getting lost.

Rent a Charter Bus for Your School Outing

The affordable and safe solution for any school trip.

When you're taking students, faculty and staff on a trip, there's an added level of concern and responsibility—you want to get everyone there and back with the least amount of hassle, and without unnecessary concerns about safety or accountability. Whether it's an athletic team competition, a prom or graduation after-party, a club or class excursion, or an arts or cultural offering, a charter bus lets you travel with comfort, convenience, safety and affordability.

Why a Charter Bus Makes Sense for Your School Trip

School Trips

There's no better option for a school outing than a charter bus rental from US Coachways:

  • It's the safest mode of group travel— With a charter bus, you'll have a highly trained professional at the wheel at all times. You won't have to worry about the driving skills of a number of parents or chaperones, and you won't have to worry about anyone getting lost. In addition, because of the limited access to the bus, you won't have unwanted guests—you and your students will be safe and secure.
  • You'll have unparalleled flexibility— There's no other mode of transportation that lets you decide when you'll leave, where you'll go, how long you'll stay and when you'll come back. If a game goes into overtime, you're covered—last-minute and real-time changes to your itinerary can often be accommodated. You can even book an entire trip with little advance notice.
  • You can count on a charter bus— You won't have to worry about getting there late and missing something. Delays and cancellations are virtually nonexistent with charter buses. Your driver has the resources to identify potential traffic problems and find alternate routes to get you there on time. Replacement vehicles are often quickly available, thanks to our extensive network of charter bus service providers nationwide.
  • You can relax— With most group trips, someone has to watch the GPS or keep an eye on the clock. Someone has to battle traffic, look for a parking space or get behind the wheel when the game's over. On a charter bus, your driver will handle all those details. You won't have to worry about missed connections or lost luggage. You'll be on the same coach for the entire trip and your gear will travel with you. You won't have to stand in a TSA security line, take off your shoes or empty your pockets. You can leave your phone on all the time—it won't interfere with navigational systems.
  • You can ride in comfort— If you travel on a mini-bus or full-sized charter bus, you'll have plush and spacious seats with plenty of leg room. You'll also enjoy wide aisles and the ability to move freely about the cabin.
  • You can use the bus for more than just travel— Use your travel time to prepare students, talk strategy, give last minute instructions or break the ice.
  • You can take advantage of the HOV (high occupancy vehicle) lanes— That helps you minimize time stuck in traffic.
  • Charter buses are a cost-effective way to travel— When you ride together, you share many of the costs of transportation. That routinely makes charter bus travel one of the most affordable options.
  • You'll help the environment— When you travel together on a charter bus, you reduce the number of private vehicles on the roads. That lowers emissions and helps the planet.

At US Coachways, we have provided effective group travel solutions for more than three decades. To get a free estimate of the cost of a charter bus rental, use our online Cost Calculator . For more information about our services, all 1-855-287-2427 and speak to an experienced customer service agent.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bus Rentals for School Trips

  • What is the best vehicle for our group?
  • That depends on a number of factors. At US Coachways, we'll look at the details of your trip—how many students and staff will be traveling, how long you'll be on the road, what you'll be bringing with you, and whether your participants have any special needs. Then we'll work with our nationwide network of vendors to find the ideal coach for your outing. If you're traveling with a small-to-mid-sized group, the mini-bus is a great option, with seating for 24 to 35. For larger groups, the full-sized bus accommodates up to 57 passengers. School buses are also available for rent, if you're looking for a more streamlined and affordable option. We'll also make certain there's ample room for anything you need to bring, from band instruments to sports equipment. Multiple bus rentals are always an option.
  • Will US Coachways provide SPAB or 19A-certified drivers?
  • Yes. US Coachways has relationships with vendors who carry School Pupil Activities Bus (SPAB) and Article 19-A certifications and will always ensure that the driver has all appropriate state driving qualifications.
  • Are seat belts required for school buses or travel?
  • The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) requires three point seat belts on all school buses weighing less than 10,000 pounds. Seat belt use for larger buses is regulated on a state-by-state basis. US Coachways will always follow all relevant laws governing the use of seat belts.
  • Who handles payment? Will US Coachways accept a purchase order?
  • Work directly with your booking agent to confirm who will take your payment and how it will be made. As a general rule, US Coachways takes purchase orders. Cash, checks and credit cards are also accepted.
  • How much will it cost to rent a charter bus for our school trip?
  • The total cost of a charter bus rental varies, based on a number of criteria:
  • How many people will be traveling—This dictates the size of your bus. As a general rule, the larger the bus, the greater the cost.
  • The amenities you'll need—Most charter buses come with certain standard features, including Wifi, DVD players, stereo and PA systems and charging stations for your devices. The school buses, however, typically don't have these options and are less expensive. For additional amenities, such as an on-board bathroom, you'll typically pay a bit more.
  • When and where you are traveling—The cost of a charter bus is typically more in the winter months in Florida than the summer months (there's greater demand). The opposite generally holds true in Northern climates. You will also typically pay more for a charter bus on Friday, Saturday and Sunday than other days of the week.
  • How long you will be gone—For day trips, you'll either pay by the mile or by the hour (expect a minimum charge—usually five hours). For day trips, the most common way to bill is by the day. If you stay anywhere overnight, you can expect to pay the cost of lodging for your driver.
  • Whether there are any tolls, parking fees, permit charges or other expenses—You will be responsible for all such costs.
  • To get a better idea of the potential cost, use our online Cost Calculator .

field trip on bus

Why GOGO Charters?

At GOGO Charters we don’t discriminate. We cater to all groups without sacrificing on space or comfort. The bus rentals we offer can accommodate groups as large as 56 with a full-sized charter bus rental or as small as 18 with a minibus rental , providing each party with a memorable yet intimate travel experience.

  • Off-site faculty meetings
  • Greek events
  • College tours
  • University-led research gatherings
  • Marches, protests and non-profit events
  • Sports travel for school or college teams

These trips all had the following things in common: our unquestionable dedication to customer service, a spacious bus rental with customized amenities and a trained driver who completed the trip with the utmost professionalism. Our 24/7 transportation service makes it possible for groups to book trips at whatever time they please, allowing them to adhere to their own schedule with the assistance of our friendly reservation specialists. In addition, all bus rentals in our network are up-to-date on all modern safety standards. Simply contact us at 1-855-826-6770 to learn more about the availability of certain bus rentals in your city or to calculate your trip quote for free!

Improved Field Trip Experiences

Avoid traveling in a traditional school bus for your next field trip, and focus instead on renting a charter bus for a climate-controlled and comfortable journey. A charter bus rental will allow you to add amenities such as cushy reclining seats for quick naps, free WiFi for on-the-go assignments, flat screen TVs and AV entertainment for educational videos, PA systems for announcements or headcounts, restrooms for quick access, and more. The journey will be less excruciating and more exciting with your students, staff, and mentors onboard.

Easy Off-site Faculty Meetings

GOGO Charters is happy to provide off-campus bus transportation in the event your staff wants to get away from the usual meeting rooms. By renting a charter bus, you’ll ensure that everyone sticks together and arrives on time without being held up by traffic or other unforeseen circumstances. It’s also important to note that mingling on a charter bus is a great way to break the ice before the meeting starts!

Streamline Transportation to Greek Events

If you’re part of a fraternity or sorority that arranges parties or off-campus events from time to time, it’s essential to book a bus rental to ensure that all members travel together and arrive at the event promptly before the general public. You can even utilize the luggage bins on your bus rental for party supplies, food, and drinks so that multiple trips aren’t required to transport these goods. On the occasion that there’s alcohol served at these events, instead of looking for a designated driver, you can rely on your charter bus driver to get your members safely back to campus. 

Tour Colleges On Your Own Time

Our far-reaching transportation network allows us to provide bus rentals to any college campus in the United States, including cities like New York City , Los Angeles , Atlanta , or Washington DC . Instead of relying on unpredictable public transportation, your group will be able to visit any metropolitan college campus or small college town in the United States with GOGO Charters. Your driver will make sure to drop you off right where the tour begins so you can focus on enjoying your time on campus. 

Travel Off-campus for Research Gatherings

Conducting an important research study with your classmates? Instead of traveling in individual cars to the archaeological site, forest, lake, or laboratory, opt for a bus rental instead to keep everyone in one place, under one roof. If your study involves traveling with extensive equipment, books, and papers, you can utilize the luggage cabins onboard for safe keeping. The free WiFi on the bus will also prove to be helpful when you need access to the internet for last-minute research needs or to take group selfies to commemorate the occasion!

Organize Transportation for Marches, Protests and Non-profit Events

GOGO Charters is proud to provide transportation to historical marches and events that rally for important causes. If your school or university is participating in events such as Pride, Womens March, or Black Lives Matter (to name a few), we can pair you with the appropriate charter bus rental for the occasion. Since traffic and overcrowding is usually an issue during these events, traveling in a bus rental is the best way to get to your destination on time without hunting for multiple parking spots for your group. In addition, you can store all your march merchandise (poster boards, flags, banners etc.) on your bus rental or use the compact restroom to freshen up your appearance after a day of passionate activism.

Sports Travel for Schools and Colleges

Have an upcoming sporting event at your school or university? Streamline travel to all away games, intramural sports or physically intensive competitions with a bus rental from GOGO Charters. All athletes will be able to kick back and relax in the climate-controlled bus cabins or can listen to game-day music or anthems over the loudspeakers in the bus rental. The large luggage bins will also provide enough space to store sports equipment, duffle bags and coolers for the game. Moreover, traveling in a bus will ensure a memorable bonding experience for your team without sacrificing on space and comfort.

Travel Anywhere with GOGO Charters

School Field Trip Charter Bus Rentals

School field trip bus rentals with shofur.

Our nationwide network of charter buses and minibuses includes vehicles to perfectly suit your field trip travels, wherever they take you. Call 1-800-436-8719 to rent a charter bus for your next field trip.

field trip on bus

Safe and Reliable School Transportation

When you rent with Shofur, you won’t need to worry about sacrificing students’ safety on the roads. We have a transportation network of professionals who are dedicated to keeping your students safe during every step of the ride. Each bus is equipped with modern safety features, and every driver is required to have a valid CDL license, clean drug test, and thoroughly-cleared background check. Every passenger will be in reliable, professional hands throughout the trip.

Top Amenities for Fun Travel

School buses are an efficient way to get around town for a field trip—but they’re not all that fun. Older models can get warm and muggy, offering little comfort for students and chaperones. A charter bus rental will have the comfort and convenience covered! Everyone can cool off in a climate-controlled cabin while coming back from  a hot day at the San Diego Zoo, catch up on work with power outlets and WiFi while stuck in Atlanta traffic, or relax in reclining seats while shuttling between Miami and Orlando for Grad Bash.

Easy Booking for Field Trips of All Sizes

Whether you’re taking one class or scout troop on a field day or you’re planning a trip for your entire senior graduating class, Shofur can accommodate your event. Our network includes spacious charter buses that can fit up to 56 passengers for large events and compact minibuses for smaller groups. Even if you need several buses for your big school trip, your Shofur rental expert can help you build the perfect fleet for your students.

Simplified University Trips and College Tours

Our services aren’t just limited to primary and secondary schools! We have transportation solutions for prospective and current college students too. Renting a minibus is the easiest way for clubs and organizations to travel around campus or even to off-campus occasions like Greek life formals, volunteer events, and football games. If you’re organizing a trip for your high school seniors or community college students to tour local campuses, book a charter bus with Shofur to simplify any parking hassles (they’re inevitable on big campuses).

Book Your Shofur Charter Bus Today

Educators and chaperones can focus on lesson plans and other field trip organization while Shofur handles the transportation. Our team is here around the clock at 1-800-436-8719 to help you rent a charter bus for your educational outing.

Field Trip Charter Buses

School field trips – getting there is half the fun.

Village Travel is the company to call when it’s time for your next school field trip. Whether your school group is traveling across the state, or across the country, our quality charter buses will give your students a safe comfortable ride.

We understand one of the most important factors when choosing a bus company is the price. In fact, it may be the primary factor. Village drives hundreds of school field trips per year so we know how to get you there safely at a competitive price.

Nationwide Field Trip Charter Bus Travel

Village Travel provides field trip charter buses for schools all over the U.S. We can transport your class to popular destinations across town or across the country. Our field trip charter bus service is frequently used by schools in these states:

Why Choose Village Travel?

  • Village Travel is one of the only companies in the area that provides twice what our liability insurance requires. We carry 10 million dollars in coverage for the unlikely event of an accident.
  • All drivers are required to pass an extensive background check.
  • All drivers are properly trained in safety and customer service.
  • Drivers attend safety classes every other month put on by our own Safety Director.
  • All buses go through a 116-point safety and roadworthiness inspection every five thousand miles (about once a month).
  • We offer  deluxe coaches which have 110-volt outlets and Wi-Fi, and standard coaches (minus outlets and Wi-Fi).
  • With either bus, rest assured you are traveling on safe, comfortable, and immaculately-maintained equipment.
  • We service and maintain our own vehicles which means even the smallest issue gets taken care of immediately.

What To Know When You Compare Field Trip Charter Bus Quotes

  • Make sure all companies quote your trip with the same miles. If you call to get a quote for your event but do not have an itinerary, we may add additional miles to get you back and forth to lunch or other locations we don’t know about yet. Because we charge by the day or the mile, whichever is greater, this sometimes increases the price. If we have an itinerary to quote from, we do not add miles beyond what you requested. However, sometimes our competitors will quote the price with no extra miles knowing they will be cheaper in the beginning even though they will charge you the extra miles once you return. Always make sure you are comparing “apples to apples.”
  • Come look at the bus. We urge our customers to come by and take a look at the exact bus they will be traveling on. Be sure to do this regardless of what company you choose. If a company tells you a specific bus is on the road and they can’t give you a date when it will be back, be concerned. Looking at the bus before your trip is an acceptable request. We welcome visitors at any time. Also, if you do visit before your trip, make note of the plate number on the bus to assure you get the same one.
  • Do you need Wi-Fi or 110-volt plugins? If so, make sure all companies provide these amenities when you book your charter.
  • Driver hotel nights. If the trip will be overnight, ask charter companies to note whether the price includes/excludes the driver’s nightly hotel fee. This is often a big reason for a price difference.
  • Built-in gratuity? Village does not add in a gratuity for the driver, but some companies do. If you’d like to tip our hardworking drivers, you are welcome to but it is certainly not required (or expected) for school field trips.
  • Pay before you go? Does the bus company require you to pay upfront? For most schools, Village allows you to pay after returning from your trip.
  • Cancellation policy. Cancellation policies vary from company to company. Always ask so you know what to expect in the case of an unexpected delay or cancellation.
  • Fleet size. Village offers buses to comfortably accommodate parties as small as 27 and as large as 56. Whether you need one small motorcoach, or several large buses, we have you covered with a large fleet of over 100. Planning a field trip? Take a look at our fleet and call us today (800) 333-0312.

Guide to Renting a Charter Bus for School Field Trips

Sending kids on a field trip is something that most teachers do regularly in school. Field trips serve to build team spirit, strengthen teacher-student connections, and make classes more enjoyable. It is critical to plan everything ahead of time and select an appropriate mode of school trip transportation.

1

Student bus rentals are a great way to keep your entire group together in one vehicle, boosting school spirit and encouraging budding friendships. When renting a school bus for a field trip, the primary considerations are comfort, ease of travel, and, most importantly, the protection of children. Hiring a charter bus for a field trip is a fantastic option, and here’s a quick rundown of things to consider.

Types of Bus

Here are the most commonly rented types of buses for school trips:

Coach Bus The coach bus, often known as a “motor coach,” provides a variety of modern and, sometimes luxurious, features not seen in other bus rental alternatives. These amenities include air conditioning, power and AUX plugs, and high-speed WIFI. The coach bus has seating for up to 55 people and is ideal for transporting large groups of people over long distances. This is especially useful for student trips lasting more than 3 hours since they can use the extra hour or two on the journey to study or simply relax and watch a movie.

Minibus Minibus rentals are suitable for smaller student groups travelling short distances or making frequent stops. The minibus is a very small vehicle that is built for efficiency and fuel economy. This vehicle, which has a configuration similar to that of a full-size school bus, can accommodate up to 21 people at a time. Due to their tiny size, minibus rentals are good for traversing congested cities, making them an excellent choice for sightseeing excursions.

School Bus The school bus is a traditional rental choice for student groups of various sizes, from K-12 to college students. This vehicle has a capacity of 47 passengers and is ideal for short trips. The school bus is the most basic of bus types, having only the absolute minimum of features to securely and reliably transport your group from point A to point B. School bus rentals are meant to keep expenses low, providing a cost-effective choice for all of your student group’s outings.

Benefits of Renting School Bus

Modern buses are equipped with comfortable seats and features

Even the most seasoned teachers find dealing with a large group of children outside of a closed school atmosphere difficult. If your pupils are becoming concerned as a result of the ride’s inconvenience, the turmoil is going to explode.

Hiring modern coach buses for school trips eliminates this issue. You get soft and comfy seats, plenty of room for everyone, and exciting and lovely views out the windows. Almost every modern charter bus now includes a range of amenities. The most vital is a built-in toilet. Motion sickness is aggravating for anybody, but it’s especially so for children. If your bus has a toilet, you won’t need to make an emergency stop.

Trustworthy When it comes to transportation, there are a lot of unpleasant circumstances that might cause you to miss your flight or even spoil your entire trip. The safety of children is, of course, the most important consideration. When planning field excursions, always use a professional bus company to reduce the danger of any kind of mishap.

Charter bus drivers are trained professionals, ensuring the safety and overall quality of the bus ride. Drivers arrive on the job well-prepared, with a thorough understanding of the route they will drive and the present road situation.

Clean and Hygienic One child can make a mess, and a full class can make a disaster. This is why professional charter bus operators clean and disinfect their buses regularly to ensure that there is no risk to the passengers’ health, particularly children.

With COVID-19 tightened cleaning rules, bus companies for school field trips go above and beyond in cleaning their vehicles, so you can rest assured that the bus you’re about to board is spotless and safe for your children.

Enjoyable Having a charter bus for a school trip just adds to the relaxed atmosphere and pleasant times with your peers during a school field trip. There’s plenty of time for youngsters to have a good time on the journey there and back. The trip will be remembered for its smooth ride and spectacular scenery.

Tips for Renting a School Bus Service

2

Charter buses for school trips can make your journey a little easier, whether you’re travelling with a school group or a summer camp. Here’s a list of useful tips to bear in mind when renting a school bus:

Look into your bus options A school bus is a common and convenient mode of transportation for children, and it can be effective for short travels. Long-distance journeys or outings with hours of traffic can rapidly become uncomfortable. Consider renting a modern coach to keep the kids entertained and comfortable.

The size of your party will usually determine which type of charter bus is suitable for your group of children. Minibuses have fewer storage possibilities and do not have onboard facilities, so keep that in mind while choosing your bus model. If you’re travelling long distances and have little children who might require a potty break in the middle of the journey, a full-size charter bus might be a better option.

Think about safety and mobility requirements While school buses are a safe and reliable mode of transportation, charter buses may provide both comfort and safety. Some charter bus models, like school buses, do not have seat belts. However, if you’re travelling with children and safety belts are a must-have item, let your reservation specialist know when making your reservation. Accessible transportation for persons with disabilities regulations can also be reserved to safely assist guests who are unable to transfer from mobility equipment.

Request amenities Charter bus rentals can have several features that make travelling with children less stressful. To keep kids occupied and prevent the dreaded “we’re bored!” exclamations, you can select entertainment alternatives like WiFi and TVs with DVD players. To occupy young children, play a movie or allow older children to stream their favourite media on their mobile devices.

Inquire about your driver

A professional driver is necessary for a safe field trip

If you have a large and rowdy group, you may want to choose a driver who has expertise in driving around kids. It’s best if you can find a driver who has special certificates or permissions required by your local government or school board, has passed a comprehensive background check, and has passed a drug test.

Consider your travel dates and locations The availability of charter buses varies based on when and where you want to travel. The busiest seasons for parties travelling with children are spring and summer, which can cause charter bus availability to decline and rates to climb. During these busy seasons, you’ll want to stay on top of securing school field trip transportation. To ensure that you get the best sort of bus for your field trip, start the booking procedure at least 6 months ahead of time.

Plan ahead of time for payment Although regular credit card payment is straightforward, reserving bus services may occasionally require purchase orders, contracts, or other documentation. Make sure to inform your reservation agent of alternative payment methods. Because processing these payments might take some time, plan your field trip or kid-friendly event as far ahead as possible.

Field trips play an important role in fostering school spirit. Parkinson Coach Lines is a reliable source of group transportation for educators and students alike. Call us at (905) 451-4776 to reserve your school bus in Toronto!

Testimonials

Excellent service and amazing buses! Liz in the front office was extremely helpful and flexible with us in navigating through our ever changing itinerary. The buses were very comfortable and provided for a smooth ride all throughout! Will definitely use Infinity again in the future!!!

I attended a school trip recently as a chaperone, and seeing as how typically students tend to only voice their opinion when negative experiences occur, I felt it was necessary for me to speak up on how awesome the trip with our Infinity Driver actually was. I know that it obviously can be quite a bit of a nuisance listening to a bus load of distracting children while focusing on the road, however, our Driver conducted himself with the highest level of patience and professionalism.

We have been using Infinity Buses for all our school trips and sports team. This year due to Covid all sports teams were cancelled but we had a last minute practice game scheduled and they sent one of their newly upgraded buses. What a beautiful and luxurious bus it was. Happy to have our teams travel with them.
